He revealed that HRC and the DNC conspired to deny Democratic voters the opportunity to vote for Sanders for president.<br /><br />That's far less than the interference of the USA in other countries' elections.<br /><br />I do not like Putin but I hate nuclear war even more. And the level of hysterical bellicosity that you liberals have been expending on this nonsense is serving to help ratchet-up tensions between two nuclear powers.<br /><br />It sickens me that one of the few semi-sane things that Trump ever said is being used against him in such a mindless fashion.thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-68790281868129170402017-01-04T01:38:22.055-05:002017-01-04T01:38:22.055-05:00I've said it before: The odd thing about the ...I've said it before: The odd thing about the demonization of Putin is that by world standards of political leadership he is actually so very ordinary. A bit smarter than average for the current crop, but on a moral and even an economic level he's so damned standard. The only thing that makes him particularly stand out is the simple fact that it is Russia he is president of.Purple library guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01930984683714519212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-42156148584522062562017-01-03T23:42:18.436-05:002017-01-03T23:42:18.436-05:00hi Thwap...I agree with you, the U.S. and its out ...hi Thwap...I agree with you, the U.S. and its out of control militarism is responsible for the mess we find ourselves in now. The invasion of Iraq was the worst mistake a country has ever made in my life. And you're right, compared to the military might of the U.S. Russia is a small player indeed. But using cyber warfare to try to influence the results of elections in other countries still cannot be justified, and could lead to a dangerous escalation that could leave us all in the dark. I also think that you are underestimating the threat posed by China which is going through a nationalist revival of its own. But beyond all of that I hope you understand that I do want an end to all imperialist games, so we can have peace on earth, and focus on saving our planet from the devastation of climate change.
